Note [5:6:4:1]1. Te stands for the accusative; see Pischel, Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenland. Gesellschaft, XXXV, 715; Delbruck, Altindische Syntax, p. 205.

Note [5:6:4:2]2. This refers to the sun. By kindling the sacred fire men make the sun rise. See H. O., Religion des Veda, p. 110.

Verse 5.

Note [5:6:5:1]1. The pronoun 'to thee' stands twice, to in the first Pada (where it is repeated from the first Pada of verse 4, a' te agne), and tubhyam (or rather tubhya) in the fourth Pada, unless we construe to havih.

Verse 6.

Note [5:6:6:1]1. See Pischel, Vedische Studien, II, 127.

Verse 7.

Note [5:6:7:1]1. See Gaedicke, Der Accusativ, p. 57.

Verse 10.

Note [5:6:10:1]1. On the nasalization of eva'n, cf. H. O., Prolegomena, p. 469 seq.

Note [5:6:10:2]2. Pischel (Vedische Studien, II, 127) explains aguh as agush, the contrary of sagu'sh. Bartholomae (Studien zur Indogermanischen Sprachgeschichte, II, 159, note 2; cf. Indogermanische Forschungen, III, 108, note I) conjectures agur (= agman) yamuh: 'sie haben ihn jetzt auf seiner Bahn festgehalten.' I believe, as Sayana does, that this aguryamuh contains two independent verbs, aguh and yamuh, which are quite correct forms of the roots ag and yam (see Delbruck, Altindisches Verbum, p. 65). As to ag, cf. VI, 2, 8. agyase agne vagi' na; V, 30, 14. atyah na vagi' raghuh agyamanah; as to yam II, 5, 1. sakema vaginah (i. e. agneh) yamam. But should not the accent be yamuh?

Note [5:6:10:3]3. The fourth Pada is identical with VIII, 6, 24.
